Conditions In the Jobbing markets In the past week have been satisfactory. An Increasing 'volume of business has been done, which ln dicates that the critical period of the labor trouble Is over. "Whllo the effect of the local strike -was severely felt at Its beginning. It Is hardly apparent novr In the aggregate -volume &t trade. It Is evident that with the excep tion of the men now on strike, everybody, in the community is at work. Price changes dur l&g the "week have been few In number and Were confined mainly to early produce, which shows natural declines. The wheat market Is (quiet, with a. firm undertone, hops are slow. and wool shows Increasing activity. "WHEAT With the shipping season almost closed, a lack of foreign inquiry and little or no exportable grain remaining In first hands. lit is only to be expected that a period of inactivity should settle down over the local 'wheat market. The few sales that came to light during the week were of such small pro portions as hardly to be worth figuring upon. i'They were mainly wagon-load lots of wheat that farmers had left over after seeding ope rations. No new shipping business has been reported. There is no demand from cither South Africa or Australia and none Is looked , for during the remainder of the cereal year. J The markets of Europe, however, are again I within reach of the Northwest, and profitable burlness can be done on the basis of quota- tlons now ruling here. For club wheat, 72 cents Is quoted, and bluestem Is valued at about 70 cents. The mills are paying 74273 cents for valley grades. t Dlscueelng European market conditions and crop prospects, J. "W. Rush, in the Northwcat 1 era Miller of May 23. said: The weather conditions, so far as the Euro- pean wheat crop Is concerned, have been rather more ravorauie this week, but there can be no doubt that the prospects as a whole are for a much smaller yield than last year, when it will be remembered the European wheat crop was the largest on record, comparing as (follows with the crops for the previous Ave years: Ore. I Qrs. 1002 21 2.000.00011 SCO 103.000.000 1001 l&5.000;XKO!l8t8 201.000.000 1900 1S7.000.00CUS07 152.000,000 It is, of course, much too early to hazard anything like a definite estimate of the pres ent year's probable production, but present ) indications may be considered to point to a total of about IES.000,000 quarters. The latest reports from each country may be summarized as follows: United Kingdom, backward but in fair condition: France, poor outlook An unusually large area resown with Spring wheat which can hardly fall to give a .very small yield. The Petit Journal of Paris already expresses the opinion that the crop can not reach 38.000,000 quarters, against 42.000.000 quarters last year and a normal home request of 43,500.000 quarters. In Germany the outlook Is much less favor able than expected. The official report up to April 15 gives the condition as 3.2. against 2.2 last year, and f..G in 1901. The symbol 2 represents a good condition, gradually growing i worse up to 3, which Indicates a. poor crop, and 4 meaning a bad one. In addition It Is i. stated that 13.0 per cent of the crop has been ; plowed up. this representing about 875.000 ! acres, while last year practically nothing was replowed. Last year's total crop was 17.800. i) 000 quarters and that of 1001 only 11.460,000 i quarters. This year's indicated yield is 15. 000,000 quarters and the home requirements of Germany are about 23.000.000 quarters. Ia Italy the crops have suffered somewhat I from the, recent severe weather, but as a whole are reported as promising fairly well. I Spain and Portugal report rather serious In Jury to the. crops by the severe drouth. In Austro-Hungary the outlook was fair, accord ing to the latest official accounts, but by no means so favorable as last year. Roumanla has had very beneficial rains, but damage is reported here and there. A cer tain amount of wheat will bo replowed to bs resown with Spring corn. Russia The latest official report. lted about the middle of April, Is as follows: "The I central governments unfavorable and very lr- ! regular. The southern governments, with few exceptions, fair to good: the western gov- 1 ernxaents. Important wheat and rye producers, i. are, generally unfavorable. .' Apart from this comparative unfavorable , outlook for the growing crops, the Continental countries, France, Germany and Italy espeel Ally, are displaying an immediate need of wheat, which is very striking when we re member that last year's production "was com- v paratlvely large. During the last six weeks I the average shipments to Europe have been 1 1. 085. 000 quarters per week, of which only s 48,000 quarters have been direct to the United L Kingdom. 630.000 quarters being for Contl- ! nental countries and 110,000 quarters a week I tor "orders." This latter item may prob. f ably be equally divided between the United Kingdom and the Continent, so that our total for the United Kingdom does not exoeed 400,- I 000 quarters a week, while our requirements of foreign wheat are about 000.000 quartets per week. This, with the small stocks on band, constitutes the strength of the position and may, with any development of crop dam age in France or Germany, lead to a decided upward movement. FLOUR. FEED. ETC. The flour market during the week has been steady and un changed la prlco with a fair selling move raent produced by a good local demand. The foreign situation remains without alteration. From China no new Inquiry has developed. but there Is coma demand from the Japanese markets. In other quarters conditions ara unchanged. A 17.000-harrel parcel goes out for the United Kingdom this -week, and while no new business Is in sight, the outlook is a ) little brighter than It has been In the past. job iwuic ui mc iiititK Business is toe pronounced strength In the feed of all kinds. bran and shorts being in strong request at S23 and middlings at $26. Hay is firm at the old prices -und oats are steady. The "barley market is dull. HOPS Quietness has ruled In the hop mar ket during the week. A number of growers were on hand offering at 20SJ21 cents, but dealers as a rule were not Inclined to pay over 18 cents. There is much discussion as to crop conditions, and many of the reports ire contradictory. The Stephenson Company, of this city, write to The Oregonlan- as fol lows: "We have noticed in your columns the bad reports coming In from the different parts of the state regarding the lftOfr hop crop, and will ear that after examining our Individual yard, we find it will not produce more than one-half of the poorest crop ever producea. We -are constantly in touch with hopgrowers in nearly every part of the state and nave en but one grower who claims to have a first-class proypect for a crop. Tho growers who "hold their hops will be surprised -with the results when they take into consideration the amount of hops nor on hand, also the pros pect for but 60 per cent of last year's crop for Oregon, frost In New York and not very encouraging outlooks in other parts of tha world." "WOOL This market is showing Increased ac tivity, but most of the sales to data havo been mado to interior merchants and mills and have been of small lots. The first pool sales will be made next week. Already Im mense quantities of wool are arriving at Pen dleton for the' first ol theso tales, which are ' set for May 2S and 20. This wool will be stored until the sales day and then disposed j 'of la the pool. There aro two immense ware houses in Pendleton In which this wool will I bs stored. The Furnish warehouse and the J Independent warehouse are utt-d for this pur- ; pose. The Independent is leased by the Scour- ing. mills, but there is plenty of room for all the wool that will be brought in this year. I The wool this year Is of finer quality than last, although somewhat lighter. Insuring the ! sheepmen of at least 1 cent or 1 cents more per pound than they received for the clip last year. J. E. Smith, who formerly had his cheep on the Barnhart ranch, sheared this Spring the same number that he did last year, and the clip was 20 sacks more. This Is very encouraging to sheepmen, who have feared that the clip was going to b lighter. J. H. Gwlnn, secretary of the Woolgrowers' Association, says that the prospects this year are very bright for a flne clip and a good price. In his- opinion the pools this year will bring more money than last. A few individual clips have already been sold, the largest one being that of "William Slusher. The others are prin cipally small holdings. The majority of the woolgrowers are walling for the sales days when clips will be pooled. COUNTRY PRODUCE Firm prices prevail in all lines of farm produce. Eggs were quite weak at the beginning of business Monday, but an Improved city demand following the Influx of visitors has reduced the accumula tion. Lighter receipts also strengthened tha market, closing prices yesterday being nearly 1 cent better than tho day before. Butter Is also firmer, with receipts on the whole hardly up to requirements. Some Front street houses are better- supplied than others and a quantity of creamery butter was put Into cold storage early In the week, but since then the demand has Increased and there has been more or less Inquiry from California and Puget Sound. A quantity of store butter wa& shipped to San Francisco in the first part o" the week. Not enough poultry la coming in to supply the . local demand. . Receipts yesterday were the best of the week, but twice aa many coops could have been sold. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES In the fruit market, strawberries are taking precedence over other varieties. California, berries are arriving at the rate of two cars a day, and offerings arc well taken up. the prlco ranging from BOcfffl.25 pr crate, according to qual ity. Oregon berries aro etlll In light supply, but heavy arrivals aro promised next week. The quotation on the home stock ranges from 15 cents on Southern Oregon .berries to. " 80 cents of the Hood River product. Other fruit are la sufficient supply, except cherries. Three cars of oranges were received yesterday. The market is liberally supplied with green vegetables, both Oregon and California. Quo tations are generally steady. There Is only a small demand for potatoes, and none at all for onions. GROCERIES, MEATS. ETC. No change of Importance was made in the grocery list dur ing the week, except the advance of 1 cent per gallon in syrup, Manila rope went up H cent. Meats, live and dressed, were fairly active. Both "sheep and hogs are lower under an In creasing supply. Hams and lard have declined- J4 cent. PORTLAND HAUKETa, Grain. Tloar. "Fecil, Etc.

CHICAGO. May 20. Opening prices In the wheat pit were steady on firm cables and small receipts, July being unchanged to c lower at 4Ci4y,c Commission houses had plenty' of buying orders early In tha day, and with of ferings limited tho market became" stronger and Jul)' advanced to 74c. but the better prices brought out heavy liquidation by local longs and prices again declined. July reced ing to 74c. A good cash demand later in the day brought about a rally and continued re ports of damago to the crop in the Soutti west also helped in the upturn. The cloe was firm with July KQtfc higher at 74X0 74Hc Trading in corn was dull, due more to a lack of offerings than any other Influence, while the undertone was firm, due . to a large extent to( the strength In oats and to the small receipts. Oats ruled steady throughout the entire ses sion and trading was active and of large pro portions. July closed with a gain of c at 34e. In spite of the lower prices for hogs at the yards and the Increased receipts, provisions opened steady and with a fair scattered de mand, pricc3 showed a little change thrcugn out tho day. There was considerable sell ing by brokers supposed to be for local pack ers, but the orferlnrs were well taken, the de mand for lard and ribs being quite notice able. The close was steady, with September pork 5c higher, lard a shade lower and ribs up a shade. , The leading futures ranged as follows: "WHEAT. Open.

No such scale of activity has been witnessed In thelstock mar ket elnco the trading following the Northern Securities decision. Wide Inroads were made upon values. It was not clear. In tact, what was the cause of the market's weakness. The ery meager demand developed yesterday when prices were decisively turned upward caused a very bad impression upon speculative senti ment. Tho decline has been so long sus tained without notable pause at any time that conviction has gained force with the professional element that a very large short Interest has accumulated in Oe market. It was believed also that prices bad -got down to a level that would provo attractive to a large waiting investment demand when once some assurance could be had that the decline had run its course. Yesterday's market was accepted as proof that the point had not been reached when these sustaining forces could be relied upon. Very despondent views were taken of the future of the market this morning In consequence of this. The announcement of an engagement of $1,200,000 of gold for export and the news that E. IL Harrlman had undergone a sur gical operation met the market at the opening and initiated the declining tendency. The enormous liquidation which soon developed In AtchUon was a marked Influence upon senti ment and continued to dominate the market for the rest of tha day, the Influence spreading to an increasing degree up to the close. Rumors were circulated of a coming bond Issue by the Atchlsai, but no official confirmation could be had on this subject. The opinion gained ground that a large speculative interest In tho stock was in a vulnerable position and was bslng made & target for attack. It will be remembered that at various times the secur Ing of a control of the Atchison by the Rock Island was discussed as an alternative propo sition to the taking over of the St. Louis San Francisco. It U probable that this talk caused & con slderable speculative accumulation in Atch ison. There is a suspicion that there was an actual large accumulation looking toward con trol and that some of this stock may b com ing upon the market. The extreme decline in the stock reached 3Vi. which was equalled by St. Paul. Losses of 2 and 3 points were fairly general among active stocks and considerably exceeded that la ases where dormant stocks were forced to sale. A notable example of this was a 2S-point drop In Michigan Central. This stock was subsequently bid up again 10 points before an offering was encountered and sale made. Bear tactics were perceptible In the precipi tate decline at the last, notably In the circu lation of rumors that $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 gold would go out Saturday to Europe. The only basis for this rumor was found to be the making of tentative arrangements for the shipment of $750,000 to South America next week. The situation In the exchange market. however, was a strong factor In the weak. ness of stocks. Exchange holds firm in face of tho shipments, and there is knowledge of the early maturity of some large German loans in this market, "which give ground for the expectation that considerable gold exports to Berlin may have to be made. A speculative upset in Boston precipitated soma selling In this market today and shorts In the cotton market were said to be selling stocks to cover losses in cotton. Some stress was laid on the buying of stocks for London account, as indi cating the growth of an investment demand from that source, but arbitrage broker ex plain, that much of this buying Is due to a transfer of holdings from London to New York to secure the benefit of the present cheap money market here.

Oats were fairly steady. The sharp cut In Oriental steamship freights Is exacted to help flour. Bran was In quick demand and 51 higher. Hay was easy. The butcheri' annual picnic drew away many market people and caused dullness In fruits and vegetables. Strawberries, gooseberries and cherries were In heavy supply and lower. Arizona apricots arrived in better condition and eold higher. No near-by California apri cots yet received. Apples were dull ;and nom inal. Nine- carloads of oranges In good con dition were auctioned, prices having a wiae range, due to difference la sizes. Fancy lem ons held higher. Limes were steady. Ar rivals of bananas were larger, but mostly too green for local use. The failure of the Por ter Brothers Company is causing an unsettled feeling In the dried fruit trade. r- Potatoes are very weak for general offerings. Those by tha Columbia aro not yet discharged, as she went to another dock to unload grain. Onions are still depressed. Moat kinds of green vegetables are easier.
